Jiggy Ant

I've seen numerous wet/sinking/drowned ant patterns, but I have never seen a jiggy one. Figured I'd try to make that a reality. I know subsurface ants, and really any terrestrial for that matter, work really well; this should hopefully be no different. I plan on dropping this off the back of a small beetle pattern or something of the sort for those tight little blue lines.
